So I was screwing around with the nflscrapr package by Ron Yurko and Maksim Horowitz, probably doing something useless and unproductive.  In their tutorial on the github, I came across this image:

And for some reason, I thought that would look really cool rotated 90 degrees.  So after a few hours of playing around with win probabilities (and smoothing), I came up with these.  These are the win probabilities for every NFL team for the 2018 season.  I think these look awesome, and I’ll probably bring a few of these with me to the JSM Data Art show.

I particularly like New Orleans, Jacksonville, and New England:

(Wouldn’t this look nice in your office?)

If you are interested in ordering one of these, DM me at @statsinthewild.

Update:
No need to DM me, you can order them now here:
